Catherine Dior – WWII spy and hero

Long before she was the muse for "Miss Dior," she was "Caroline," a code name whispered in secrecy. In 1941 she joined a powerful Resistance network dedicated to gathering intelligence on German troop movements and weaponry, and transformed her brother Christian's apartment into a sanctuary for clandestine meetings.

In the summer of 1944, the Gestapo found her, and tortured her to extract the names of her fellow resistors. She endured, and she protected them. Her punishment was deportation. She was one of 543 women crammed into a train bound for the Ravensbrück concentration camp where she was assigned her a new identity: number 57813. When liberation finally came in 1945, the woman who returned was a ghost of her former self.

After the war in 1947, her brother, Christian, created his first perfume, naming it "Miss Dior" for her, a living monument to the sister he had almost lost. The scent was not a reflection of the war, but a celebration of the life and resilience she embodied—a bold, green fragrance, vibrant and full of hope, much like Catherine herself.

Catherine played a major role in preserving her brother Christian’s legacy, becoming honorary president of the Musée Christian-Dior in Granville. She was decorated with multiple honors for her wartime bravery, including the Croix de Guerre and France’s Legion of Honour.

Catherine passed away on June 17, 2008, at age 90

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

Why does Trump think he's going to get away with jacking up health premiums on families by 75% in order to fund a giant tax cut for his billionaire pals?

Because he thinks his campaign to repress free speech will keep us quiet.

But he's wrong. We are fighting back.

Elizabeth Warren @warren.senate.gov · 1d

Trump’s nominee to be the Army’s lawyer is confused about the First Amendment.

Independent journalists must be free to report the facts without fear of retaliation.

If we're sending troops to war under false pretenses, Americans have a right to know.

Graphic with Senator Warren asking: Is it consistent with the First Amendment for DOD to revoke a reporter’s press credentials for publishing a story that’s critical of President Trump?

DoD official responds: Yes... If the basis was that the person published information that was not otherwise approved for release by the Department.

Senator Warren Responds: Whoa.

I feel like the whole crew seems to think they will never pay a price. I habe said for awhile they all seem confident in this destruction that nothing will ever happen to them. It has me very worried about Elections. Or should I say - no more Elections.
